Though he suffered comparisons to Bob Dylan, Wainwright is his own stylist: he has an off-hand manner with description, he isn't afraid to show sentiment, and his comedy can be both cutting and charming. The highlight of the album is undoubtedly the witty, desperate, and heartbreaking "Motel Blues," but there's also the silly nod to new fatherhood, "Be Careful There's a Baby in the House," written about Wainwright's new-born son Rufus.
With his third album, singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III would employ a full band, fleshing out his folky songs, rocking the rockers, and giving a little bounce to fun ditties like "Dead Skunk." But 1971's ALBUM II finds Wainwright still in stripped-down, acoustic, coffee shop mode, which suits his intimate, confessional tunes just fine.
Recording information: 1971.
Rolling Stone (p.60) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Reared not on rock but on his parents' Broadway-musical LPs and the goofy, theatrical side of Sixties folk, Wainwright sang comically but responsibly..."
No Depression (p.117) - "His humor could be so cynical it forced nervous laughter that was somehow liberating, and his word-pictures could be so precise it was unnerving."

Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their core, making plain the inherent frisson lurking below the surface of such ostensibly laconic tunes as "Lonely Girls" and "Righteously." Meanwhile, songs that already had plenty of bite in their studio versions are pumped up to ...

Album II
 $31.25
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader.
KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the past by Toshirô Mifune. KAGEMUSHA also features the final screen appearance of longtime Kurosawa actor, Takashi Shimura. ...
